I have a Forester and had Subaru upgrade the head unit, and replace it when that didn't work. It would still disconnect when I would be on a phone call and then could not automatically reconnect. I never really had any issues with the connection for audio only, just when I would have a phone call. Finally I discovered a hidden option... Bluetooth AVRCP version. By default it is set to 1.5 but 1.6 is preferable. You can change this by doing the following:
Open Settings and scroll to the bottom to select About Phone
Scroll down and choose Software information
Tap Build number seven times (you may be prompted to enter your PIN, pattern, or password)
Go back to Settings and you should now see Developer Options at the bottom
Select Developer Options - scroll about halfway down the menu, you will see Bluetooth AVRCP Version
Set it to AVRCP 1.6
Hopefully this helps if you are still having an issue, or anyone so they don't have to go through this struggle lol
